RE: My Favorite Baby Technology and Gadgets (so far)

Fun to read about modern day parenting, hopefully some of your gadgets will help other new parents.
Only one I recognize is a battle warmer for milk during the night, ours doubled up as a lamp. Everything else we adapted to as we learned on the go, no internet very few gadgets and no throw away nappies!
Cotton nappies I did have a good reliable washing machine that could boil the nappies hygienically clean, then sun dried, later used for dusting the home when both boys had finished with them.

Most of the gadgets are just more stuff to buy. But very few of it I bought myself or new. A lot of my relatives want to buy something and friends have been giving me their used stuff. I bought the formula machine 2nd hand and will be giving away or selling most of this stuff in a few months.
I'm not sure if my bottle warmer has a lamp mode, but it's definitely handy. The humidifier has a lamp mode. Heck everything has bright displays and LEDs these days.
Cotton nappies is a lot of work but much better for the environment. If he promised to only do number 1 I would consider it.
Thank you for your lovely comments. Things have definite become easier, especially for those of us who have enough time off, especially the mommys.
Helpful technology gives you more free time to enjoy the little guy, we never had the selection offered today.
One thing offered was baby food which I bought a few jars of fruit, then used for homemade meals and puddings as those glass bottles fitted into the bottle warmer. Milk, water, weak rooibos tea was also in baby glass bottles, boiled in a pot to sterilize with a little salt added to water.
Glass enables one to sterilize and reuse, something I stick to is storing most everything in glass containers.
I always wondered why baby food jars were so small, that makes sense. I guess I could put it into it's own portion sized container to heat up.
We will probably get some subscription for meals, especially for mommy's. There is some neat 6 in 1 baby meal preparation thing, temping but I have all the separate appliances.
Good mix of garden vegetables cooked up, mashed with small portion of meat for variety, we found purchasing baby food expensive, more often than not smelled awful.
Enjoy experimenting and learning what works easiest for you we never owned fancy electronic equipment and used an hand mincer LOL...
